A little Euripedes

Every man, is, after all, like the company he is wont to keep. Let's look at the company a little, shall we? I mean, who exactly is buying this stuff anyway? Who's reading Aaron Clarey, getting the message? Check out those second, third and fourth comments.

Now, Frequent Clarey Commenter Mahan is just so impressive. I mean, that projected child mortality rate - 75,000 per 100,000 - is just amazing. So much better than, say, the Cambodians could do at the killing fields. It really shows how inefficient those Commies are, no? And tells you right up front that Mahan is just so damn accurate and careful with those statistics, he is at least as good an historian as Aaron is an economist! Alfred Thayer is no doubt rolling over in his grave. Oh, and hey -- what exactly is up with these nutjobs who give themselves fake military ranks, anyway? And who knew that "the fauna" were such a threat! Run, bwana, the lions are coming!

But, wow, that's a bold stance - y'all are fools to try to help starving children. It's nice to see "Liar_Liar" - a friend of this blog, after all, who's shown up here to threaten your humble blogger, and call him names! - chiming in rapidly to agree. "[T]he african kids will hack you with a machette [sic] after they finish off their best friend." Wow. A sensitive, humane soul. Deep, man.

Ya gotta wonder -- just how much time do you have to spend alone playing "Mario Brothers" and reading comic books, to be so far removed from, y'know, the human species?

But you gotta leave to to the reader to decide if these are guys who spend their weekends alone in their underpants in dark rooms, in front of a box of Oreos, glaring at computer screens, hitting "refresh" every couple of minutes, waiting for responses.

I guess the apparatchiks are just agreeing, after all, with the guy who said, anyone who thinks they'd like to visit Africa is just brainwashed, and who called Africa a "shithole."

Maybe Euripedes is the wrong Greek, y'know? I mean, I'm not that clever. Maybe it's somebody else who said you could recognize folk when they speak....
